Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 19-year-old girl and I have been battling with depression for years. Last night was my fourth attempt at suicide. My last therapist told everything that I told him to my father, whom I loathe. I have trust issues, anger problems, drug addiction, and alcohol addiction. I see no point in life. I am not in school, and I do not work. I was always the best in school. Everybody in my family is smart, and my sister studies at one of the best colleges in the world. She is doing her chemical engineering and nuclear physics. My partner used to hit me, and he stole all the money that I had. Now, I am staying with my friend. I had been homeless, raped, and I was a commercial sex worker. I really do not know how to recover. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
As I can see here you have gone through multiple stressors due to which you have got depression. At present, you are suffering from major depression so I advise you to get urgent psychiatric help. You need to get admitted to a tertiary care psychiatry hospital. At present, you require antidepressants, some sleeping pills, supportive therapy, and cognitive therapy which will boost your confidence, and improve coping and problem-solving. So, take help from any friend or relative, and consider admission to the hospital for a few days. All the best.
Feel free to contact me if you have any further queries.
Thank you.
